Part 7

It was Wilbur's hand. "I have a better place for you to listen in from." I didn't really care to listen in, but at the same time, I did care. So I took him up on the offer and followed Wilbur to a kitchen. He gave me a soft smile and pointed at a window. The kitchen and main room are connected together. So, I looked through the window and saw Phil sitting in the main cement chair. A throne.

Technoblade was on a throne next to his and in front of them stood a small man. He had a cape and crown on. Phil had locked eyes with the one presumably named King George. I looked next to King George and saw two people at his sides. One was a tall man, he wore a simple set of armor, and underneath was a lime green hoodie. He had a satchel across his body that held an ax. Though, the most noticeable thing about him was the white porcelain mask that had a haunting smiley face on it. There was another man, though I couldn't see him well. All I saw was the raven-colored hair he had. It was a beautiful silky black that lay on his shoulders. I recognized it. Where have I seen this hair before?

I took a step back as I recognized it. The guard that killed my dog... The face started to unblur in my memories. It was him. It was them. I took another step back and this time I fell. Wilbur noticed, "Hey are you okay?" He came down and reached for my hands. My breathing became hitched and I could feel myself struggling to breathe. "Calm down, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here." He brought me into a hug and I curled into him. 

"It- It's h-him. He a-attack-ked the village." I managed to get out. I felt Wilbur's grip tighten. 

"The one with raven-colored hair?" He slowly spoke. I nodded.

After I calmed down a bit, Wilbur steadily got up and walked out the doors that connected the kitchen and the main room. With my hands still shaking, I got up and looked through the window. "Wilbur, nice of you to join us! Techno and I were just about to make a deal with them. Also, do you know where the kid is? They would like to talk with him." Phil said cheerily. My heart dropped. 

Wilbur stopped and said, "No, sorry I haven't." Oh, thank god, though I was dead there for a second. Phil hummed in response as Wilbur stepped up the stairs and leaned into his ear.

I don't know what Wilbur said, but it made the king's eyes go wide. Though the eyes calmed down as he spoke, "Thank you King George for coming, but I think it's best if you were on your way now." Phil said sternly. 

"Heh?" Technoblade spoke. 

George's eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?" 

"Please leave now." Phil stood up and walked down the steps, heading to where the kitchen was. 

Though he came to a stop when he heard the one with a mask speak. "That little brat told you didn't he?"

Phil turned around, "Leave before this gets complicated." 

"Oh, King Phil it's already complicated," George laughed. That earned a snicker from the black-haired man. The one in the mask moved his head around the room and then caught me with his smiley mask. I couldn't move, my body stilled. 

He spoke with poison in his voice, "I will finish what Sapnap couldn't." He pulled out his ax and pointed it toward me.

Techno quickly jumped out of his throne with fast movement, lunging at the masked man. "Dream, you will not lay a had on Tommy." Techno pulled out a sword and swung it at him, but Dream blocked with his ax. 

"So his name is Tommy?" The pig hybrid pulled his sword back and swung again. Though it was only to be blocked again.

George spun around to Sapnap and spoke, "Finish the kid, it's the least we can do at this point." Sapnap nodded and looked at me. George was leaving the castle, the sounds of his steps being overtaken by the clashing of weapons. Soon three people were heading my way. Phil, the masked man, and Sapnap.

Phil immediately reacted to this remark and flew to me. Catching me before Sapnap did. The man let out an unhappy grunt and called out, "Give me the damn brat." 

"Sorry can't do that mate," Phil responded. He quickly flew off somewhere leaving Sapnap to fight Wilbur.

The last thing I saw in the main room was Sapnap lunging at Wilbur with a blade. "Phil! We need to go back! Help them!" 

"You can't help them, the best thing you can do is go somewhere safe." 

"What do you mean I can't help them?!" Phil let out a huff. 

"Kid, they're trying to kill you. You would only get in the way." I shut up after that.

Phil led me back to my room. "Stay in here, I'll be back soon." He put me down and quickly flew off. Well, fuck him. Like hell, I was gonna do that.

--TECHNOBLADE'S POV--

I lunged at Dream only to be blocked again. "I can do this all day. Why don't you just give him to me?" Dream remarked as he lunged at me. I huffed at him and then dodged out of the way. Swinging my sword to the back of his legs. This action caused him to crumple to the floor, Dream in return letting out a grunt. 

"That looked like it hurt." I deadpanned as I put my foot to the back of his neck. "Now you can die here." 

Dream sniffed, "really?" I rolled my eyes and went to stab him through his back, but was stopped when I saw Dream through a splash position. It was an invisibility pot. 

I mumbled, "Great."

I hear Dream say out loud, "Hah take that Techno! Let's go Sapnap!" Sapnap runs away from the heated fight he and Wilbur were having. 

Wilbur calls out, "Cowards!" I look at Wilbur and notice there's a large cut on his leg. It didn't look too serious, just looked like it might hurt for a bit. I walk over to him and let him lean against me.

Before I could insult him Wilbur asked, "Where is Tommy?" Right as he said that, Dad flew back into the room. 

"Are you okay?" He worried. 

"Right on queue." I deadpanned. I lifted Wilbur off me and onto Father. 

Wilbur repeated his question, "Where is Tommy?" 

"I left him in his room." 

"WHAT?!" Wilbur and I burst out. 

"You know we can't... you know... leave him alone! He's... a wild card! I know we've only known him for about two weeks, but still!" Wilbur said, stumbling over his words. We all then collectively ran, well Dad flew with Wilbur, in the direction of Tommy's room.

We burst into his room. "TOMMY!" Wilbur screams. 

There was no response. "Shit," Dad mumbles. 

"Yea 'shit' is right," Wilbur responds. I push a hand to my forehead and rub, man was I getting a headache. 

"So this would be the seco- third time we went on a look for him." We all sighed in defeat.

"What the fuck are you doing outside my door?" All our eyes widen and we spin around quickly. 

"I was going to help, but when I got there, no one was there." Father lunged toward him and pulled the blonde kid into a hug. Tommy's face was mushed into Dad's chest and his wings fluttered in protest, yet he was still able to talk. "Again, what the fuck?" 

"Kid, you scared us." The hug broke apart and Dad continued talking. "Well, now we have to go back to the infirmary." This then earned an over-exaggerated groan from Tommy. 

"Do I really have to see Dr. Frumpy?" 

We chuckled at this, "Come on Tommy." Dad said.
